Lavender Blue
Sunday afternoon, in Northern Greensboro, the skies turned an interesting shade of blue. As we drove by the intersection of North Battleground and Old Battleground Avenue, the above scene caught our attention. All we could think of were the lyrics of a 17th century nursery rhyme, "Lavender's b...
Your readers might be interested in what instrument Debra Warren is playing. It's called "harmonium." This freestanding keyboard instrument, which originated in Europe, is similar to a reed organ (it may remind you of an accordion). Sound is created when air—produced by bellows operated by foot, hand, or knees–is blown through sets of free reeds.

Liberty Antiques Festival is going strong today and tomorrow, just south of Greensboro in Liberty. With hundreds of dealers and no crafts, reproductions, or nearly-new items allowed, this festival is billed as one of the best on the east coast. If you've never been, it is worth the drive- for ...

First Friday Fun
July is well under way. Above is a scene at Elements Gallery, 526 South Elm Street, taken at last night's First Friday celebration. Greensboro has some great artists, visual and performing alike, and Elements Gallery is a co-op of about 45 artists. They all work together to keep this gallery d...
I love the way the colors of the ornamental cabbages reflect in the window display. I looked back to your very first ornamental cabbage shot and was wondering if you have found out the name of the cabbage variety that is that beautiful purple color?

MACK and MACK & Ornamental Cabbage III
It is time for our annual ornamental cabbage photo; one of the top searches bringing first time visitors to Greensboro Daily Photo. This year, we tried to take an ornamental cabbage photo that was obviously taken in Greensboro-- no easy task. The above cabbage is planted in front of Mack and M...
Beautiful children, beautiful voices, they've all worked so hard on the music! Hope to see many familiar faces at the Greensboro Youth Chorus holiday concert tonight!

'Tis the Season
Last night's First Friday in downtown Greensboro must have had record crowds. People from all walks of like were out walking and enjoying the gala event. There was so much festivity and the weather was perfect. Music, dancing, artwork, food, and strolling along Elm Street. It really seems as i...
I would entitle this pic "Rainbow in the evening sky." Thanks for being there at the right time to capture the moment!

Sunset on Autumn
For a few weeks there, it seemed as if autumn would last forever. Locally, fall was especially beautiful this year. Leaves were brilliantly colored, skies were blue, and many days were just perfect for spending time outside: bike riding, festivals, nature walks......... Then, in Greensboro, th...
I like the decor of the Carolina Theatre but is has nothing on the theater I used to attend in Wiesbaden/Germany. Take a look at the foyer of the "Hessisches Staatstheater:" http://www.musikunst.de/wiesbaden%20staatstheater%20foyer.JPG

Inside the Carolina Theatre
We've meaning to take you inside the Carolina Theatre for a while now. Above, you see a portion of this regal place. Opening Halloween night 1927, the 2,200 seat theatre is known as the "Showplace of the Carolinas." Imagine the reaction to this opulent interior to the Depression-era audiences ...
I get the impression that they only allow "virtual" tours. Do you think it would be possible to get a group tour?

Right here in Greensboro, we've got the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory of flavoring and Mother Murphy is the Willie Wonka of our taste buds. For 65 years, Mother Murphy's Laboratories has been concocting flavors. The very beginning of the business can be traced to the early 20th century whe...
I looked at the link with the 300 year old tree. What an inspiration!!! Our neighborhood in Summerfield was developed in the 1980s. During that time the builders were careful to leave as many trees as possible on our heavily wooded lots. I love our property! We see a lot of different birds, blue-tailed skinks, deer, and even wild turkeys.

Once there was a tree and it was so beautiful that the owner of this house decided to remodel the house around the tree. The oak tree continues to grow tall and thrive on this Shady Lawn lot, located off Etney Ridge, in the neighborhood behind Earthfare (off Battleground). This neighborhood is...
I love "Where's Waldo?" Is that Jane next to the second tree to the right?

HOPE on College Hill
On the heels of the 9/11 anniversary, internet posts, including those on Greensboro Daily Photo, have been a little heavy-hearted this weekend. Today, we lighten the mood up with a microcosm of HOPE and greenery on a porch in College Hill. College Hill is the historic neighborhood between Gree...

It is late summer and makeshift produce stands around Greensboro are becoming less frequent. However, this one at the Citgo/Quik Mart on Battleground Avenue near Target is still quite busy. And, the melons and heirloom tomatoes look tasty. About 4:15 yesterday afternoon, a strong thundershower...

Dog Days of Summer
Dog Days are "the hottest, most sultry days of summer." They refer to a time period that is hot, the air is stagnant, and it can be "marked by dull lack of progress." Humans tend to sit around "dog-tired" hoping for rain. Some believe that wounds heal more slowly at this time. Dog Days are ...
